Title: Because You're Mine
Author: Lisa Kleypas
Genre: Bodice Ripper
Thingummies: 2.5
Synopsis: Girl doesn't want to marry the lecher her parents picked out; girl runs away to the theater to get herself despoiled on purpose; girl falls in love with rake; predictability ensues.
Thoughts: I was totally on board for the first half of the book. Madeline is spirited and smart; she wins over Logan partially just by being hyper competent.
But then they break each others' hearts and she gets pregnant, and he becomes a jackass. And she becomes a complete nincompoop who just accepts him being a jerk for way, way too long. Mostly because the plot requires them both to be stupid and act against their own self-interest. Feh.
